An insulated container contains a monoatomic gas of molar mass ' m '. The container is moving with velocity ' V '. If it is stopped suddenly, the change in temperature of a gas is [R is gas constant]

A. MV 2 R

B. M V 2 2 R

C. MV 2 3 R

D. 3 MV 2 2 R

Correct Option is (C)

Kinetic energy loss of the gas is

Δ E = 1 2 M V 2 n ..... (i) ....(where n is the no. of moles of the gas)

Heat gained by the gas due to temperature change Δ T is Δ Q = n C V Δ T

But, C V = 3 2 R ....(gas is monoatomic)

Δ Q = 3 2 R n Δ T ..... (ii)

Equating (i) and (ii),

Δ E = Δ Q 1 2 MV 2 n = 3 2 R n Δ T Δ T = MV 3 R

A gas is compressed at a constant pressure of 50   N / m 2 from a volume of 10   m 3 to a volume of 4   m 3 . Energy of 100   J is then added to the gas by heating. Its internal energy is

A. increased by 400   J

B. increased by 200   J

C. increased by 100   J

D. decreased by 200   J

Correct Option is (A)

From first law of thermodynamics,

Q = Δ U + Δ W = Δ U + P Δ V

Change in volume due to compression

Δ V = V 2 V 1 = 4 10 = 6 m 3

Negative sign indicates gas is compressed.

Δ U = Q P Δ V = 100 [ 50 × ( 6 ) ] = 400   J

As, Δ U is positive, the internal energy is increased.

For a monoatomic gas, work done at constant pressure is W. The heat supplied at constant volume for the same rise in temperature of the gas is

A. W

B. 5 W 2

C. W 2

D. 3 W 2

Correct Option is (D)

Heat supplied at constant pressure Q 1 = nC p dT

Heat supplied at constant volume Q 2 = nC v dT

Work done

W = Q 1 Q 2 = n ( C p C v ) dT W Q 2 = C p C v C v = C p C v 1 = 5 3 1 = 2 3 Q 2 = 3   W 2
